From Parmigiano to Portraits: Emilia Delizia’s Founder Launches AI Headshot Service

From Parmigiano to Portraits: Emilia Delizia’s Founder Launches AI Headshot Service

At Emilia Delizia, our mission has always been about creating memorable experiences – whether it’s tasting aged Parmigiano Reggiano straight from the producer, exploring the hills of Modena with a glass of Lambrusco in hand, or learning the secrets behind traditional balsamic vinegar. But behind the scenes, our founder Gabriele has quietly been building something entirely different… in the world of artificial intelligence.

🚀 Say hello to Ritratto.xyz – an innovative new platform that uses AI to generate high-quality professional headshots in seconds. Built by Gabriele himself, this project is a surprising yet fascinating detour from culinary tourism. So what’s the connection?

Let’s explore.

👨‍💻 Who Is Behind Ritratto?

Many of you already know Gabriele as the driving force behind Emilia Delizia – crafting immersive food and wine tours across Bologna, Modena, and Parma. But what you may not know is that Gabriele is also a data scientist and AI developer with a passion for automation and smart design.

Combining years of experience in tech and tourism, Ritratto was born from a simple problem many professionals face: getting a great headshot without the time, cost, or awkwardness of booking a photographer.

🧠 What Is Ritratto?

Ritratto is a web-based tool that lets you upload a few casual selfies or photos, and in return, it gives you a gallery of AI-generated, studio-quality portraits – perfect for:

• 🔹 LinkedIn profiles
• 🔹 CVs and job applications
• 🔹 Company websites
• 🔹 Social media branding
• 🔹 Even dating profiles

What sets it apart is that you don’t need a green screen, DSLR camera, or Photoshop. Ritratto’s AI understands facial structure, lighting, and style – creating sharp, professional portraits from ordinary images. You can even choose different backgrounds (e.g. plain, office, soft-focus) and styles (e.g. corporate, friendly, creative).

🤔 What Does This Have to Do with Emilia Delizia?

At first glance, a food tour company and an AI tool for headshots might seem completely unrelated. But there’s a deeper link: quality and innovation.

Just as Emilia Delizia curates high-quality, authentic experiences for travelers, Ritratto delivers fast, elegant solutions for modern professionals.

It’s also a reflection of how tourism and technology increasingly overlap. Many of our clients today are remote workers, digital nomads, and professionals who value both travel and efficiency. A surprising number of them have already shown interest in tools like Ritratto – especially when booking a tour and preparing their online presence at the same time.

📈 What’s Next?

Gabriele plans to continue developing AI tools that are practical, user-friendly, and affordable, both in the tourism space and beyond.

At Emilia Delizia, we’re proud to support not just local tradition, but also forward-thinking technology – especially when it’s made with the same care and attention to detail we apply to every tour we run.

If you’re curious about Gabriele’s latest venture, we invite you to take a look at ritratto.xyz. Who knows? You might find your next LinkedIn photo in the process!
